More About Coach Carson

I currently work with one of the top trainers on Long Island, Jerry Powell, at his training facility called Basketball Results. I have trained children as young as seven years to overseas/NBA level players. Before that, as a player at Stony Brook University, I was involved in numerous camps and clinics with the youth in developing their skills.

I am the 2nd All-Time leading scorer at my high school (Bishop Eustace Preparatory School) in New Jersey. 2nd Team All-State as a junior and senior in high school.
Recieved a full athletic scholarship to Division I, Stony Brook University. Three year starter, Two year captain, 2nd Team All-Conference as a sophomore, 1st Team All-Conference as a Junior and Senior. 4th All-Time in scoring, 3rd All-Time in assists, 1st All-Time in free throws made, 2nd All-Time in three-pointers made, Bob Cousy Award Nominee (Top 20 point guards in the country), Tied for most wins in Stony Brook History. Starting point guard on the 1st and only team in school history to make it to the NCAA Tournament to play Kentucky in the first round.
Played professionally overseas in Latvia (Valmiera Ordo) and in Germany (MLP Academics Heidelberg).

After the 1st session to gauge skill level, I will customize a workout plan to each individual that will improve their overall game and help them reach the next level. Basic to advanced ball handling, form shooting/off the catch/off the dribble/extending range, finishing around the basket, passing, rebounding, conditioning/playing through fatigue, mental toughness. Basketball is about so much more than just the physical aspects. Players must be able to think the game under any circumstance as well.
